Sky They came, they saw but Weber State conquered. The Wildcats, served a chance for their second straight Big Sky title on a sliver platter when Montana State upset Gonzaga two weeks ago, were in top form last Friday and Saturday nights as they "downed Montana State, 100-76, and Montana, 106-82. ine double win gave the Cats an 8-2 conference mark , the same - as Gonzaga's. Weber finished with a 20-5 record for the season compared to the Bulldogs' 19-7 read- -Ings. Both schools will receive tro- phies for their co-championship teams, which beat each other ,on their home floors and dropped a game in Montana.

The Selective Service office stresses the test is optional and no student is required to take it. However, beginning in the fall, local draft boards will use a combination of school erades and scores on the test to determine who will be deferred. In- " dications are that a student with an exceptionally high standing in his college class would not need to take the test in order to be deferred. A student with a lower rank in his class might sub stantially improve his chances for a deferment with a good score on 11 L i. me test. Although the criteria for deferments have not been announced as yet, it is expected to be similar to those used during the Korean war when a score of 70 (out of 150 questions was considered deferable for an undergraduate stu- dent and an 80 was generally accepted for a graduate student. The test is designed to test four -areas reading comprehension, verbal relations, arithmetic reas- . oning, and data interpretation. A spokesman for the Selective Service office called the test: "similar to a general aptitude test" with about 50 per cent of it devoted to verbal and linguistic -skills and about 50 per cent to quantitative reasoning. He said the test had been constructed so as not to give any advantage to any type of college major. There were charges that the test used during the Korean war was weighed in favor of math and science students. The formal announcement of the test will be made by the Selective Service office around April 1 and test information will be posted on college and university campuses, public buildings and local 83 l)0(j the national post season reglonals. Weber, oddly enough, defeated their two Montana foes in almost exactly the same manner. The Wildcats were down by several points early In each contest, but broke loose late in the first half and early in the second to race away untouched. Against Montana State's speedy Bobcats, who led by 37-32 late in the first canto, the senior sparklers Jerry Trice, Bob Belkaand Gene Visscher put on quite a show late in the half by stealing passes, hitting the long bombs, and generally giving the Northerners (the Yankees of the Big Sky) a poor display of Southern hospitality.Halftime score was Weber State 45, Montana State 39. That game, for all purposes, was over. The Cats, rolling down the court v-a 1 evepmes draft boards. Students considering the tests will be able to get bulletins and forms from their draft boards. The bulletin tells where and when to report for the test. About 1,200 sites throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Canal Zone will be used. Meanwhile, the Pentagon announced that a sharp upturn in enlistments has enabled it to cut its March draft call by 10,500 to 22,400 men - the lowest figure since the 16,500 called last Aug. ' The Defense Department had originally asked the Selective Service System to induct 32,900 men in March but Army enlistments in January totaled more than 19,000 - the highest monthly figure in more than a decade. Marine Corps enlistments also jumped to 7,000 an increase of 160 per cent over January of 1965. With plans finalized for the test and colleges reconstructing recording systems to furnish draft boards with grades and class standings, some college officials have expressed serious misgivings over the tighter rules for student deferments. A Brandeis University dean says the new policy determining student deferments is totally absurd and said seven professors may stop giving grades because of it. . Dean Kermlt Morrisses said for a student to lose his deferment because of a low class ranking was "unfair to schools with highly selective admissions policies where everyone is a potentially good student." Pro. John R. Seely, chairman of the sociology department in a statement signed by six other sociologists, denounced the method as "an invasion or misuse of our role." They said their opinion had nothing to do with the draft or the war but threatened to quit giving grades or to give all A's rather than help determine which students would be deferred. Officials at Harvard and the University of Michigan have assured students they will not send grades to a student's draft board if he asks that they not be sent. They caution, however, that this might mean immediate reclassification as an "obstruction" to swiftly like wheel-less wonders, clawed the Montana State defense to shreds and threw several hurdles in the Bobcat attack during the second session. The final margin: 24 points. Bill Gillespie led the MSU scoring with 28 points, but most of them came in the first half. Jim Moffitt was second for the Bobcats with 20. Top dog for the Purple and White was "Vish" with 23 16 field goals and seven out of eight from the charity stripe. Jerry Trice, perhaps the best guard in the conference, made the nets sing with 21 counters. Other Cats In double figures included Greg "Golden Boy"Harrop with 16 and Bob Belka, the "thin as-a-toothpick" man who got the Wildcats going late in the half with 13 straight points, with a total of 17.

Gallagher, president of City College of New York said "A "C" student at institution 'X' may be a better bet for college and university work than an 'A' student from institution 'Z'. The overriding interest of the nation is better served by encouraging the best talent to continue in higher education as long as possible..." Charles E. Llesenfelt of Minneapolis, an educator and a draft board member, said the system would be "about as fair as you can possibly get." Lisenfelt, assistant to the recorder at the University of Minnesota, is chairman of his county draft board. George Watson, dean of students at Roosevelt University in Chicago, protested that the rules would make universities "a part of the Selective Service System." Lt Gen. Lewis B Hershey, head of the Selective Service, continued offering assurances to students. Hershey said if monthly calls continue between 10,000 and 30,000 probably only an "infinitesimal" number of full time college students would be drafted to meet the needs of the war. "It would probably be only a thousand or two a month," he said, "and that's pretty small in comparison -with a pool of 1.8 million students." He added unless draft calls rise sharply, many students will not be drafted even if they fail the qualification tests and don't maintain required class standings. He warned, however, that "its's not a time of complacency amoung students." He said any change in the Viet Nam situation could send draft calls skyrocketing and cause a major depletion of college campuses. At the same time, the New York Times revealed in its Saturday edition that U.S. military officials in Saigon were planning for a war lasting from three to seven years. The Times reported that military planners in Viet Nam feel U.S.-forces can win a Military victory but it will take at least three years.
